GRENFELL TOWER : CONSERVATISM IS THE NEW KILLER CULTURE

As the hours tick by since the horrific tragedy at Grenfell Tower, it is becoming clearer and clearer that:
1. the killer Conservative-dominated council consistently ignored warnings from residents of the danger of a serious fire;
2. the source of the fire was a power surge to a fridge which was put out quickly but the fridge was close to the window and the flames escaped onto the new cladding;
3. that cladding was sub-standard, banned in the USA, and possibly installed incorrectly to allow the flames to rapidly climb up the outside of the tower;
4. the fire alarm system in the tower was also sub-standard, and protections like the sprinkler system and fire doors were also sub-standard.

Conservatism is NOT the new counter-culture.

Conservatism is the new killer culture.
